Welcome to Zikula

Zikula 1.4.0 has Symfony at it's foundation, which includes Doctrine. "Symfony is an Open Source distributed PHP framework. A framework helps you work better (structuring developments) and faster (reusing generic modules)."

No matter what your needs, Zikula can provide the solution. Whether it is a large corporate web presence with ecommerce, a small simple blog or a community portal, Zikula can do it all. Zikula is infinitely expandable with modules and plugins that can add the functionality you need. And all with tomorrow's technology.
Best of all, it is completely free. Our community forum provides you with the support and help you need free of charge.

Zikula Core 1.4.0 is intended as a transition release between the very popular 1.3.x series and Zikula Core 2.0.0. While maintaining nearly 100% backward-compatibility, 1.4.0 lays the foundations of Symfony, Doctrine, Bootstrap, Font-Awesome, jQuery and Twig which will be the basis of future development. A new namespaced module structure is established that will be the new standard for 2.0.0 extensions as well as providing many new tools and features to make your site exceptional.
